HOW IT WORKS

When applying for our programs, a mentee must be between the ages of 6 and 16 years. The mentoring relationship can be supported by the agency through to 18 years of age.

An Enrollment Coordinator will work with you and your child to review your situation and determine how a mentor would be of benefit. Factors that would be considered regarding your child’s needs include:

  • Parent or guardian support
  • Adult involvement other than the parent(s) or guardian(s)
  • Peer relationships
  • School performance
  • Involvement in community activity
  • Living environment
  • Ability to form and maintain a healthy, safe relationship
  • Ability to perform self-care

 

Please note: Youth enrollment for our one-to-one community-based mentoring program is currently paused and we are not accepting new applications at this time. We encourage families to explore our other mentoring programs, including In-School Mentoring (gr. 1-6), and Team Mentoring.
The status of our youth applications will be reviewed in Spring 2027. For more information, please contact us at bbbswi@bigbrothersbigsisters.ca
